Sec. 1261.413  Analysis of costs; automation; prevention of overpayments, 

delinquencies, or defaults.



    The Office of the NASA Comptroller will:

    (a) Issue internal procedures to provide for periodic comparison of 

costs incurred and amounts collected. Data on costs and corresponding 

recovery rates for debts of different types and in various dollar ranges 

should be used to compare the cost effectiveness of alternative 

collection techniques, establish guidelines with respect to points at 

which costs of further collection efforts are likely to exceed 

recoveries, and assist in evaluating offers in compromise.

    (b) Consider the need, feasibility, and cost effectiveness of 

automated debt collection operation.

    (c) Establish internal controls to identify causes, if any, of 

overpayments, delinquencies, and defaults, and establish procedures for 

corrective actions as needs dictate.
